The 2017 NBA's Defensive Player of the Year has always been one to say what he means and he meant it when he said the Cavaliers were overmatched in the NBA Finals and that no one else in the NBA has a prayer in the near future.

“They didn’t stand a f— chance,” he says of the Cavs, who lost in five games. “It pissed me off we didn’t sweep them, though.”

Green is one to talk trash and sound overconfident at times, but for him to do it as a member of a team that won 73 games two years ago, 67 games last season and two of the last three NBA championships it's not really trash talk anymore.

The former Michigan State Spartan knows how good his starting lineup and roster are, but he himself is impressed they have played as well together as they have with all of the talent they put out on the floor and the limited number of shots in a game.

“Just because you compile a team of superstars don't mean it's going to work, because it's a lot of ego,” Green said. “And we just happen to have a perfect group to where it works. You can't be that good without ego. But it's not an ego in the sense of: I need this shot, I need that shot. Ego in the sense of: We're f— good. Damn right we are.”

This will be the second year that Green has shared a starting lineup with former NBA MVPs Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant in addition to Klay Thompson. He's right, they're really good.

However, he knows that as good as they are there will always be detractors. Never will there be a moment where someone says three championships is good enough. They'll say they should have won five. But for a guy whose general manager says "he might value (winning) too much," he's going to continue to do all he can to add to his current title of "Draymond Green, NBA f— champion.”

“My mom used to always tell me: It's not about beating the person in front of you, it's about beating the person inside of you,” Green said. “Most people can't beat that person.”
